Hi Stack,
What you say is when the master sees it in OPENED state. But if the META
was in OPENING state in zk and that time the master goes down. Now when the
master comes up again then the master will try to process the OPENING state.
regionsInTransition.put(encodedRegionName, new RegionState(
regionInfo, RegionState.State.OPENING,
data.getStamp(), data.getOrigin()));
It will add the RIT as OPENING in master's memory and will wait for the
timeout monitor to deduct the same.
That's why I thought we need not make the META region to wait for so long in
master restart/switch scenario. Correct me if am wrong.
Regards
Ram

Won't the .META. usually be moving from OPENING to OPENED? When new
master comes up, it'll notice the changes and act accordingly? Am I
not understanding something Ram?
